"What took you guys so long?" Benjamin 's voice was heard Immediately we busted in through the front door.
"That's not important now" Zayn replies, handing the piece of paper we found in mum's table over to Benjamin . He scans the paper before looking back at us.
"What's that?" Noah asks, walking closer to us.
"Laura having information on Rodney can mean only two things" Zayn says looking over at me.
"Who the hell is Laura?" Lucas asks, standing up from where he was sitting reading a book.
"She's my Mum" I responded, turning back around to face him.
He nods mumblingly sorry before sitting back and continuing his book.
"Rodney either visited your mum or she suspects him" Benjamin says glancing over at me. I just nod in reply not trusting my mouth enough to form words.
I don't know what to say, I know mum is just doing her job but I can't let her keep causing harm to the pack.
"But why would Rodney want to rat us out, he's just like us" Lucas states with furrowed brows.
"Are you really asking?" Noah raises a brow at Lucas.
"Right because he's Rodney" Lucas responds sarcastically.
"So much is happening, Josh, my mum, Kate, now Rodney" I
whisper under my breath.
"We'll figure it out, I promise" Benjamin places a hand on my shoulder in comfort before walking out the house.
"Hey, are you okay?" Zayn says, putting his hands on my shoulders. His eyes searched for mine.
"No" I respond with a forced smile. I looked down at the ground trying to stop the tears that began streaming down my cheeks.
"Hey hey hey" he pulls me into his chest wrapping his arms tightly around my waist. "Every single thing will be fine" his soft whispers fill the air as he rubs circles onto my back. I bury my head into his chest. "Okay? Don't cry, seeing you cry hurts me" Zayn continues rubbing my back.
After another few minutes, I pull away.
"Come on let's go inside" he takes my hand in his leading me upstairs.
"You feel lonely don't you?" Lucas asks Noah after moments of silence. Noah clicks his tongue, nodding.
"Where the fuck Is my mate and why haven't we met yet?" Noah whines stepping out making Lucas laugh before going back to his book he wasn't understanding.
A knock was heard at the door, Jake glances at the door exhaling before getting up from the bed where he laid with an unconscious Kate.
"Hey" Charlie whispers entering the room with a food tray.
Jake smiles slightly at her "I'm not hungry" he says quickly shaking his head.
"You are, you just don't have an appetite" she gives him a fake frown.
"I'm really not hungry Charlie" He responds sitting on the edge of the bed. She walks over, setting the plate of food down next to him.
"Eat," She says firmly, crossing her arms.
Jake's head slums downward, sighing heavily. Charlie's brows raise when Jake's shoulders begin to shake. "Jake..." she squats down in front of him "I can't tell you not to cry because I completely understand how you feel, Kate will be fine, she'll wake up"
"Why... why did you guys ask her to take my pain, she wouldn't have been like this" JakeJake cries.
"Because you would have died, you'd do the same for her if she was the person hurt" Charlie answers placing her hand on his knee "She'll surely wake up, all you have to do is to be strong, and for you to be strong you need to eat"
Jake stays quiet before giving in and grabbing one of the sandwiches on the tray.
The door opens revealing Cole holding a large bouquet of roses. He puts them down on the table beside Jake who looks up.
"What's this?" he asks raising an eyebrow.
"It's a tree... of course it's a bouquet" Cole smirks.
He reaches forward and wraps his arms around the boy pulling him into a hug "You're gonna be alright" Cole whispers patting his back making Jake nod.
"Okay Cole your gay is showing" Charlie says disconnecting Cole from JakeJake.
"My what?" Cole looks offended.
"You're gay" Charlie repeats as though it's the most obvious fact in the world.
Cole stands up his face burning red "I am a straight man" he snaps at Charlie.
"Yeah you are" Charlie retorts with a smirk, she then turns towards Jake "We'll leave you to eat" she smiles at him dragging Cole with her.
"Mum I want to talk to you" Walking into mum's room as she read through some paperwork on the bed. My cheeks flushed remembering what Zayn and I did on that same bed.
"I haven't seen you in ages" She replies without looking up. "Since your boyfriend almost died at our doorstep, I've hardly seen you home" She finishes finally looking at me.
"Yeah" I simply replied sitting at the edge of the bed.
"What do you want to talk about" She begins closing her laptop before looking at me.
"I just want to know how you're doing at work" I started praying to God that she would say something beneficial to us. I know this is going to be difficult because mum and I don't have really good communication.
"Good, we're making progress" My heart skips at the word progress. If there's progress on mum's side then that's bad for the pack.
"That's ..great, so tell me what exactly is going on because you know I want to know what the status is about the whole killing thing y'know" I rant watching as mum stares at me suspiciously. Shit!
"Is there something you want to ask for?" She sucks in a breath placing her fist on her chin. "You need money don't you?"
"What? No! I just want to know how you're doing at work, is that so bad?" Maybe if I make her feel guilty she might say something.
"It's just, you don't come to me to ask how I'm doing, so I'm surprised. '' She shrugs. "Okay if you want to know so bad, I've been studying about werewolves and all, during our last operation we were able to shoot a guy we suspect to be one of them"
"A guy you suspect, you weren't even sure it was him" I unknowingly raise my voice.
"Okay calm down.." She lightly chuckles as my blood begins to boil. "He was able to flee from the scene cos he was with someone else, but he left blood traces" If my heart skipped before now it's flying. Wondering what she would be able to or has already done with Jake's blood sample scares me.
"We did a DNA test and..." she pulled out a paper from the corner handing it to me.
My eyes doubled in size seeing what was written on it.
